I want whiter fogs and daytime running lights

From the research I've done, the fogs bulbs on the c32 are 9006 (easy to find anywhere). Now, that problem is that I want the my daytime running lights to match the color of my fogs (not that stock yellowish look). Anyone konw what the bulb size for the daytime running lights?

Also does anyone know at what temperature the bi-xenon bulbs run at?

Thanks in advance

stock bi-xenons run at 4300K

daytime running lights are 194 wedge bulbs.

If you want them to actually match, get the same brand and line of bulbs. I was trying to match 6000Ks from different vendors, and they were not even close. Carlab's 6000K looked more like 9000K+.

For your fogs, I recommend you go with an HID kit. Not only will you experience 3x more light output but you will get a perfectly matching xenon white output.

You can also replace your 194 wedge bulb with one of our sidemarker LEDs which are also 194. These are also rated at 6000k so they will be a good match for your fogs if you get 6000k down there.

You think 6000k HID fogs will match the 4300K stock bixenons? I would love to have HID in my fogs instead, but I would really hate to have fogs that don't match my headlights.... I'd be exactly where I am now.

it looks like the only option would be to replace my stock bulbs with 6000K as well
